Feedback in:
I have been a lifelong buy-and-hold type of investor, particularly in value-oriented equities. I do not consider myself a trader. I have had some success with my style of “investing,” but I know that I can do much better. My value style has worked well over the long term, but never enough for me to quit my day job.
Years ago, I read your book about the Turtles and was fascinated by their stories. I always wanted to spend more time learning trend trading techniques. However, running a family business along with raising a growing family meant I did not take the time to do it. Now, I am retired, and I have the time and desire to learn.
The idea of not having to follow every little market distraction appeals to me. My wife and I are both engineers, and we are both involved in our investment management. I think it would be helpful for us to learn the same system.
My main concern about committing a chunk of hard-earned money to a trading system is: how do I know it will teach me more than I already know from my previous trading experience? Why should I purchase your course as opposed to re-reading your book on the Turtles or, as many of your critics say, just researching the Turtle Rules online and applying them?
